Oh My.

I’ve started to work on the promotional website for the game. It’s hard work because I’ve kind of forgotten how to write .net websites. In addition to the web service calls from the phone to the database, this website is going to have to handle web browsers, xhtml browsers (ie for some of the more advanced mobile phones) and wml (WAP) browsers.

I’ve got the layout for each one planned and I’m adding basic content but it looks awful. Add to the fact I don’t even know how to code a counter in C#, things are looking quite grim for some of the stuff.

I have discovered an error which was hidden. The winning player id is not being transferred to the Client. It’s a moot point really because the client already knows who’s won at that point. It looks like I’ll take out that check and just let it run. It does prove out the timeout code which is fantastic.

I’ve also stated work on the database schema for the standard game. I’m limited
to Access at the moment and I’ve got to make inquires into the Service providers support SQL Server 2000. The artist is happy to do the work and she seems happy with the descriptions I’ve given her so fingers are crossed for the next version.

Next on the list is obviscation of the project. It will hopefully be done by the end of the week.
